The 51st Annual Conference on South Asia is quickly approaching! We look forward to welcoming you all to this year’s conference where attendees will engage in nearly 200 symposia, panels, and round tables across four days, both in Madison and online.
While we anticipate a predominantly in-person conference, this year we will equip up to three breakout rooms with two-way communication devices, making nearly 20% of all sessions available for hybrid or all-virtual participation. Links to these sessions will be made available to all registered attendees, and international scholars attending virtually will receive a significantly reduced registration fee. We hope this will greatly increase participation, in addition to the over 50 registration fee waivers we were able to provide last year. We continue to listen and adjust to feedback we receive from attendees each year in creating a safe, inclusive space for all, and we greatly appreciate the solidarity and support we have received over the last few years!
The 51st ACSA is scheduled to meet in-person, October 18-21, 2023 (Wed-Sat), at the Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club in Madison, Wisconsin, and via our regular conference app (Socio), which will be accessible via web browsers and mobile devices. Virtual participants will have access to any sessions linked in the Socio app and Madison attendees will be able to view fully virtual panels in three of our conference breakout rooms. If you are scheduled to participate virtually, additional information is available below. Additional information on the Socio app will be shared in September.
